These guys are are full of shit^. Any of the machines posted will run Arma II on very high, with very playable framerates. I build rigs as a basement passtime (put 12 gaming towers together last month, on various budgets) and most people on forums etc, think your GPU is shit if it's less than $500 Please do a bit of research, and check out each component, but don't fall into the trap of buying the absolute latest because someone on the forums says "if it's not $2000+, it's obsolete" If you wanna build it yourself, you could save a bit of cash but otherwise, these systems are just fine. Good luck, and happy gaming

Steam

Not sure if there's a bug or something...some servers seem to offer a good mix of loot, and others no matter where I go, it's all car parts, and hatchets...shitloads of 'em.

Ya despite being shot at regularly (even when unarmed), I still refuse to shoot first, and generally try to help new spawns on the coast. I get killed almost every time but hey, that's how she goes. We spawn and try again. By the way, To the guy on US 177 that script-killed me last night (after missing every shot) while I was riding my motorbike on the coast (ghillie suit, sniper rifle, all tools, NVG, lots of food) you're a really shity shot, and I still found my body and gear before you did.

Standalone will be for iOS only, then Wii and Xbox...soyou get to really enjoy the hatchet hacking action. It will come with a "beans & soda" accessory pack where you really get to open a can and toss it at the hospital windows. PC version will no longer be supported because too many keyboard keys are making people's eyes cross. Looking forward to enjoying it on my iphone while driving.

Two words: Shopping carts. I want a Screenshot of my ghillied sniper rolling hobo style But on a serious note: - more buildings to enter - option to bury gear in a cache (with a thin post marker)...alternative to tent with less visibility - Re-evaluate gun choices. Examples: Why the 1886...and with shotgun shells? Make it the Winchester 1894 .30-.30 (quick to reload, powerful, plentiful and accurate). Add a .22 (maybe with optional subsonic ammo, and low-power scope) very quiet but weak except for headshots. The best zombie plinker....a bit less military stuff - character customization -some reward for survival or achieving things...a way to score or gauge your experience as aplayer - shopping carts...that's what this boils down to

Can we dupe them and run a puppy mill?

Good old Elek. power plant action. Can the glass in the tower be shot through? anyone know?

Nice post TheL337x Contributing memmber of the community. That shit stopped getting lols after the CS 1.6 days.

Same just happened to me on US 1345. Coincidence? Just minding my own business running on a nowhere road in the north, after 12 hours on my character, and having some decent shit collected (all the essential tools, M9, Kobra,) Instantly teleported to beach, dead. Logged back in, but got stuck at "Loading" , most people were also gone (kicked/killed). IF it's the admin, please fuck off...if not, fuckoff anyway whoever you are. School starts soon for you.

He failed cuz you logged. In a way that's a still a success.

Great idea.

Bears should be very rare. Maybe one or two on the map at any one time. They could roam and destroy tents. Wolves should also still be rare...maybe a low chance to spawn near players that don't move for a long time (snipers). It's like they're homing in on a scent. Not a terrible idea.

Sweet retribution

Stats request: what's the farthest distance/longest duration someone has crawled with broken legs. For the love of god, I've been 9 RL hours on my current life with a broken leg. doing laps around villages in the north hoping for some morphine.

Maybe with a spear-gun, or regular gun underwater? I do underwater photography for a hunting/fishing mag, and you'd be surprised by how close fish let you get in real life...they don't tend to get spooked when you're in their element. As long as there are no specific fishing spots that can be camped, not a horrible idea. And as long as it doesn't lead to herbalism, mining, engineering, etc, etc.

This issue popped up for me for the first time today (playing DayZ for about 2 weeks). No issues at all, until I started heading for a military spot. As I got near, and looked towards the loot area, I got the same issue. Running Radeon HD 6870, all updated. Tried "Shift"+"-" and "flush", The geometry changes but still fucked...just a bit differently fucked.

Good point. ^ Holding Shift does make you walk slower...unless you double-tapped shift, in which case the control is reversed and you move faster. I did point out the Double-tap shift to reverse things but your edit makes more sense. Thanks. ...above links have been fixed.

I created a quick, printable guide for keyboard controls in DayZ. If I left something off, please let me know. You can get it here: http://www.filedropp...m/dayzcotrols_1

Should this be tweaked? Last night I played a couple of hours collecting some good loot rifle/pistol and fought my way north killing about 41 zombies, and being down to about 7K health. Suddenly in the courtyard of a building, some Zs spawned in front of me. I got tackled and went unconscious for an insane amount of time. I was eaten alive. Pretty sure I would have died even if I had the full 12K health. The bleeding + being chewed on + the insane timer might need some adjusting. Or give freshly spawned zombies a timer before they are "aware"? Might be wrong though. Please comment

I've done work on Cryengine 3 as well. Pretty impressive. A bit worried about potential performance issues but with a good team, and efficient design, it's worth considering. I'm a fan.

In RL hunt deer with a Lee Enfield (1917, sporterized short mag). I did add a 3-9x scope to it for those 100+ yard shots but still a very good, reliable medium sized .303 cartridge that can handle any game in North America (I'd use something heavier for bear, but still OK). The gun is an infantry rifle from the early 20th century (WWI). Although the bulk of military ammo produced for it was of a full metal jacket variety (as is mandated by the Geneva Convention), today it mostly eats soft point, rapid expanding bullets, of about 180 grains in weight - this is what hunters would use. My personal suggestions: - The gun is probably right as is currently in game. I'd maybe add a bit of shaking effect when aiming crouched or standing since it's an old, heavy gun. - Please make it quieter. It's really not that loud in RL. (especially compared to my shotguns firing 3 or 3.5 inch magnum loads/slugs)

I played on this server with side chat on last night. Good server (Canada 1) as far as this noob is concerned. http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/184.107.48.59:2302/

I think the appeal of an open sandbox environment like this is what most Zombie FPS games have ignored. Ducking into buildings, the lack of resources and easy weapons,the option of goign wherever, and avoiding a town altogether and other great features really draw players in. A refreshing change from the linear, guns in every corner, Left 4 Dead type FPS approach. I can't wait to see the Chernarus really come alive with a rich, fully interactive environment in the future. Thanks to Rocket and the DayZ team and the (mostly) helpful player base. I've had a fun couple of days so far.

Not sure how much of this is applicable at the moment due to technical limitations but before moving on to implementing more fun things, I think some bugs need to be worked out: - doors are slamming in my face hurting me bad. I was nearly killed, broken bones after prematurely shutting the door with zombies on my tail - While crawling with broken bones (after door incident) I was unable to enter many ground-floor buildings due to a tiny step-up, or curb. So I couldn't reach meds - Can't respawn without disconnecting. Is this normal or just me? (sorry noob) - A few more basic melee weapons (really weak ones so at least I can beat off a zombie even if it chews on me a bit). Examples would be a lead pipe, a discarded brick. - Nameplate options?Since all players look alike, It'd be nice to have some identifier when up-close. If this is not possible, how about some gesture scripts such as wave or salute so we can show we are friendly. Thanks, great stuff so far. I can't wait to see further progress on this mod.
